About

The BS/MSE program in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering allows undergraduate engineering students to continue their studies toward a Master of Science in Engineering immediately after completing the Bachelor of Science. The Whiting School of Engineering offers a fifty percent tuition waiver for this program after students have completed eight full-time semesters at Hopkins.
